APPLE DISHES

Apples—our own Canadian apples (and there are none finer in any
part of the world)—have become a real standby of the modern housewife;
because so many and varied are the good things which may be made
with them practically the whole year round; because they contain such
very important elements in the form of minerals and vitamines, both of
which are necessary factors in the health-maintaining diet.

The average composition of the apple is:

Water.... 84.6% Be oer sre eae 0.5%
Carbohydrate. .35.. : 1679; Minerals. ¢) 2) OBS.
Ng ke, sO Cellulose. ...... 1.2%

While the percentage of carbohydrates, consisting mainly of fruit sugar
which is readily assimilated, is higher than in some other fruits—iron,
phosphate, lime and other minerals are found in the apple in the necessary
proper combination to be of the highest value to the body. The action of
the apple in digestion is alkali-forming. |

Apples are especially rich in Vitamine C, the anti-scorbutic vitamine,
which every person—adult and child—needs constantly to keep the body,
the teeth in particular, in good condition. This is the vitamine which is
destroyed by cooking, in combination with air or oxygen, so it is a wise
mother who safeguards the health of her children by giving them raw apples
as their between-meal treat. For the very small child the apple should be
peeled and grated. 2 |

When peeling apples, if it is desired to preserve their whiteness, they
may be dropped into cold water into which salt has been placed to the
proportion of one teaspoon to one quart of water.
